Negotiations with McClain have not progressed well

Back in like '97, Matt Finkes was a 6th rd. pick out of Ohio State and held out.

I'm currently holding out as an UDFA, now 15 years out of college.

Never played a down of football. I just can't see a deal getting done this year either.

In my earlier post, I used the term no-man's land on the third round based on this article from sbnation:

http://denver.sbnation.com/denver-broncos/2011/7/29/2303724/nate-irving-contract-denver-broncos-rookies

Of the early part of the 3rd round here's the way it shapes up right now (just googled the players name and "rookie contract" looking for latest news, also looked at team official websites -

Carolina - Terrell McClain - unsigned

Cincinnati - Dontay Moch - unsigned

Denver - Nate Irving - Signed - terms unknown

Buffalo - Kelvin Sheppard - unsigned

Arizona - Robert Housler - unsigned

Kansas City - Justin Houston - unsigned

Hurney did not think rookie CB Brandon Hogan (knee) passed physical. Hogan is a candidate for marshall's spot if he can get healthy.

wasted draft pick

Known fact when drafted that he would be ready til August. Kid will impress just needs to get healthy.

...but you have to remember the new rules, holding out is expensive these days and if you don't report 30 days before the 1st regular season game you lose an accrued season.

And from what NFLN said they can sit your ass and not pay you for the year as well. Holdouts are now a thing of the past, you will lose your ass for holding out. I am glad the NFLPA felt the same as owners in that regard

    • I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.
    • Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.
    • Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
